tests__core#

Whether tests for this estimator are triggered by framework changes.

Part of packaging metadata for the object, used only in sktime CI.

String name: "tests:core"
Private tag, developer and framework facing
Values: boolean, True / False
Example: True
Default: False

sktime’s CI framework regularly tests estimators in pull requests, usually only estimators that have changed, via run_test_for_class.

The tests:core tag of an object is a boolean, it specifies whether changes to the framework or base classes trigger tests for the estimator.

Only a core selection of estimators should have the tests:core tag set to true, to avoid that all estimators in sktime are triggered by a framework change.

The tests:core tag is not used in user facing checks, error messages, or recommended build processes otherwise.
